New adventure.

I felt her this morning.

The memories won yesterday. I stayed inside again. Not feeling guilty about it, and really didn't worry. I've accepted this way of life, for now. 

This week I have two reasons to get out of the house. I have my support group on Friday, and a lunch with my friends from work. Anyway, accept for the simple fact that going outside may also mean doing some work. WORK! Yikes. I retired from work to have retirement. 

It is spring, and not only are the weeds a growing, the bugs get active. For the past years, I've been "fogging" my house and garage. Since I started doing that, we haven't had any ants, cockroaches, or crickets in the house. Well, almost any of them. I also fog the garage, because it is attached to the house, and it is a easy way into the house. After I started fogging the garage, I keep finding bugs halfway into the garage, heading for the door, and never making it. Tee, hee, hee, my plan is working. 

I didn't have a good night sleeping, and I think that is because of my sitting on my butt all day. Well, this morning, as I was laying there, I felt something cuddling up around me. I'm sure it was Sweetie, for we used to spoon in the morning, making one body out of two. Yet, when I went to touch her, she was gone. 

It was then, a thought, I need to take Sweetie to the golf course. We've been to the ocean, and plans to take her to Pensacola, I never thought of the golf course. 

For the past 4 years, we were there 4 to 5 days a week. She was as much a part of my golf game as I was. She walked that course in the beginning, and rode it until she couldn't leave the house anymore. That is what I'm going to do today. Don't tell anyone here, that that is going to happen. 

Yesterday was one of my daughter's birthday, and so because of my being so narrow focused on Sweetie, I didn't get her anything but a call. 

When her mother and me split up, I promised her a trip to Scotland for her graduation. If she was kidding, she reminded me of that promise. As if I'd forgotten it. 

Because of that, we now have plans being made for either Halifax, or Scotland next year. I may have put my foot in my financial mouth by making it a family affair. We'll see. 

My other daughter had a medical procedure the other day and when I called her, she was resting. Spent the first part of the call all on me, what I was doing and how I was feeling. At what would have been the end of the call, I asked her about her procedure. 

She was so happy I'd asked. She was worried that the call would have been all mine, but by asking, her heart was lifted. She is fine, and all is good. The best way to end the night. 

The lights on the horizon from Dementia Town still glow brightly. I know that they will dim as we get some distance between us and where we are going. For after all, me and Driver are on a new adventure, and who knows where the Road to Life will lead us. All I know, is for now, I'm Keeping my Shiny Side Up, C'ya, Luv Ya, and God Bless. Arthur.
